    LEMURIA is charming and fulfilling. I loved the research and specificity that illuminates the entire story. Even though we may not be lemur experts, the script trusts us to learn as we go, quickly and cleverly establishing the lab’s hierarchy of characters, and their various hearts’ desires. Delicious, educational, and unapologetically sexy.

    A smart ensemble piece centering around a lab full of diverse and dynamic characters. It has the perfect balance of heart and comedy while not shying away from the nature of an academic setting. It has something for everyone, but especially for those not usually represented in the scientific community. Plus lemur puppets!

    I am so excited about this play from so many angles. Playwright Antosh synthesizes scientific contexts, human storytelling, and power dynasties as seen in King Lear. "Lemuria" artfully invites readers and audiences into the Lemur Lab in Eastern North Carolina peopled by complex experts and novices alike.

Fully recommend "Lemuria" for those seeking a breath of fresh-if swampy-air and renewed inquiry into frequently...
